by Pacharapong Suntanaphan [Yod]
Born in Thailand
Lives and works in London
Trained at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London
Yod moved from Thailand in pursuit of his studies and career in design in the UK in 2003. Yod’s passionate and lighthearted attitude towards design is clearly evident in person and definitely portrayed through the language of his work.
Although trained as a ceramicist Yod is highly experimental. His curiosity and love for materials has pushed his work into an abstract yet sophisticated level attracting a wide range of audience and interests. His creative thinking has led him to winning a variety of awards from Release 1.0 competition for ‘Half Vases’ to featuring in a range of publications and press including Domus, Icon Magazine and Wallpaper*.
